April 2011

It isn't the first time that I feature work from Vincent Van Duysen here. I'm a big admirer of the The Totem line that he created for Dutch design brand Pastoe. Today we are going to look at an armchair that he created for Italian brand Poliform.

Design doesn't have to be expensive. If there is one company that lives up to that, it's Ikea. Ikea's design department recently selected 5 designers to go to India & Vietnam to absorb the colors and brainstorm about surprising limited editions. The result is indeed colorful just as I like it.

We are going to keep it local for this week's item. It isn't the first time that I featured products from Belgian design house Wildspirit based in Mariakerke/Gent (B). Todays item fits the time of year as it is called "Spring".

With only a few more months to go it is time to start thinking about being outside until late at night. Mood plays an important role in that. Fire seems perfect for that, hence the trend of those outdoor fireplaces.
